Well, I wired (I can't say re-wired as there wasn't much) this house
on my own 40 years ago and it was all pretty straightforward.

I was reminded the other day that 45 years ago I ran some SWA out to a
pond pump and that they have only just pulled it all out (still
working). ;-)

I've probably done 10's of similar jobs for people over the years,
when it was considered ok for someone who had done Electrical
Installation at college when they were 15 to do such things.

The questions were more along the lies of 'is it advised / acceptable'
to do such things for a mate, rather than just for yourself.

I'd rather someone else do it as I really don't need the faf but for
some reason they want me to do it ...

my HND in building technology and administration didn't help much...tee hee
